Abstract:
Juveniles of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and trout S. trutta populating the system of the Tornio River (the Baltic Sea basin) are investigated. The obtained parasitological data indicate the absence of rigid spatial and food competition between juvenile salmon and trout in the case of their cohabitation.
